still no hyperloop after all this time? what a surprise! these people risk their lives to build a tunnel for cars, maybe someone should have told all knowing all powerful elon that tunnels for cars have existed for over 100 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Street_Tunnel

it's all this guy: https://heng.lu/

who is very outspoken against IPv6 adoption because he wants to capitalize on his v4 holdings. THE END.

I don't know if I've heard a sentence from him that isn't a threat of legal action for something

most ycombinator folks can't seem to distinguish things outside the software realm. Maybe if all these super ultra mega smart engineers and developers could focus on utilizing existing hardware more efficient we wouldn't need to constantly build these energy sinks.

also, it has been known for quite some time how damaging the near total reliance on cars and the associated infrastructure at that scale is. If you do absolutely nothing about climate change when you have the most resources to do so, then I cannot feel sorry about anything that's happening.

I feel like being forced to spend 40+ hours at any/every job has to create more work to justify that amount of time (an "agreement" that people died for when they were working in factories, not that its based on anything realistic or 'scientific'), and that's not very inspiring and takes SO MUCH ENERGY, at least for me.

On top of that you then are faced with this constant increase in "tech" that is supposed to do so much amazing stuff / make everyone more efficient, so now you are forced to do even more work in those 40 hours or get squeezed by wealth inequality? The new AIM chatbots coming out now can do so much! wowee! now I can be in 4 meetings at once?

Then on top of THAT you also have to wake up each morning facing global climate change where there is no real effort to change the course (you can say all you want about renewables, but as long as these graphs keep going up we're all going down https://www.climate.gov/).

People do get value and meaning from their work, whatever it is, it just feels like this mindset and social structure of the industrial age doesn't match up with any of the challenges we face nor does it feel like it fits with all the knowledge and technology that has been developed. What's the point if what we're doing on a day to day basis takes so much of our energy and then just gets us closer to human caused environmental destruction no matter what it is?
